This is a great problem to have! The apothecary diaries is so good I've almost nearly finished the first book already!

Guys, you don't understand. I NEED a cute Jupiter plush in my life! 😂

I now, unintentionally, have 3 books that I've started/half way through. 2 of short stories (with one in Japanese) and the other being The Apothecary Diaries... Help! 😂

I did wilt a little and the water did turn pink... 😱 That may have just been the bath bomb though.

I finally have a bath after so many years and had my first proper soak in just as long. It's super relaxing. I feel so light and... Relaxed. 😌

Strange Horticulture and Strange Antiquities (their new game!) are both very cozy with an eldrich, atmospheric story and feel. Both feel like being wrapped up in a warm blanket on a rainy day.

It's Silksong day! Callback to this phone case I did for Hollow Knight. Maybe I'll end up making a Silksong one too once I've played it. 🤔

A cozy card of Lechonk, the pig Pokémon, flopped over after eating a whole dog bowl full of berries. It is placed in a top loader decorated with a light pink border with various fruit and veg framing it.

A cross stitch of multiple of the lazy egg Gudatama.

It is complete! This one took me quite a long time, but it came out so good! 😍

All I do in Pocket now is open daily packs... The lack of EXs I've pulled is not helping me build a viable deck so...

I've been playing a bit of Pokemon TCG recently (both Live and in person) and I'm starting to notice it's helping me to make decisions quicker!? Maybe only in game at the moment, but that's a good start!

Oh~ It sounds interesting! It also taught me the term Solarpunk, which I absolutely love the sound of! 😍

I finally read Legends & Lattes and absolutely love it! Cosy fantasy books are now all I can think about! 😂 Any recommendations are 100% welcome~

No sandcastles... 😞 But I did get to see all the cute dogs running about! 😌

A photo of a hand pressed into a sand beach.

I went out and touched sand today~ It felt nice, but I am now very tired. 😴

All right Infinity Nikki. No need to be all bittersweet... I'm not crying... Nope. 😢

A cross stitch containing almost eight completed Gudatamas, the lazy egg mascot from Sanrio.

More Gudatama cross stitch progress~

A set of shiny Pokémon cards. There is a pokeball Tepig, master ball Swadloon and Vanillish, EX Whimsicott and Hydreigon and an illustration rare Yamask.

All my shiny shinies from the White Flare ETB I managed to nab! A pokeball Tepig, 2 EX's, 2 master balls and a beautiful mossy purple ruins Yamask! 😍

An in progress cross-stitch of multiple of the egg sanrio character Gudatama.

I actually started the full piece a while ago and forgot to post any progress. 😂 All the Gudatama~

A chocolate shaped like a horse positioned on top of a slice of carrot cake.

Umamusume out here influencing every aspect of my life. The carrot cake had a horse on it! How could I not! 😂

Two Pokémon cards one is a Whimsicott ex (cotton ball like Pokémon) and the other is a master ball Vanillish (sentience vanilla ice cream.)

I got super lucky! My first pack from the white flare ETB had both of these cuties!

A picture of three manga books. From left to right we have: The Idolmaster Gakuen comic anthology, Mannequin feat. Hatsune Miku and 3分後に°°をする話 (See you in 3 minutes).

Been reading more manga recently too. Here are some I've read~

Just saw the Shugo Chara figures announcement and thought, "Ah yes, @tofuurabbit.bsky.social is in trouble." 😂

Not a lot of cross stitch this week, but that might be because I started playing Pokémon Black again. 😅

A couple of small cross stitches of the lazy egg (sunny side up), sanrio character, Gudatama.

Did a couple of Gudatama cross stitches from ColorfullySarah's pattern. I actually started this on a train journey last week while visiting some friends~

Be sure to check out Ayu's streams next week as she raises money for charity~

I for one live to see WIPs! The process is just as important (and interesting to see) as the final product.

Get well soon! This is just your body getting the bleh out of the way so you can enjoy Ayu day, right? 😅

Thank you! They definitely look more chill than I was finishing it off. The outlining was quite a pain. 😂
